Based on specifications, price, and reviews, this bike is a best buy. The gear range and weight should make it one of the fastest production bikes, especially with a windshield or rear fairing (cover). Awesome Library does not endorse this product, but only provides it as an example. 6-01
- Recumbent - 07. MR Components Swift for Price, Comfort, Speed, and Safety (MR Components)
Starts at around 900 dollars, weighs 33 pounds, and has a gear range of 18 to 100 inches. (Standardized speed rating is 19.8 mph.) Since the Swift is actually a trike, it will be much more stable than a two-wheel cycle. One reviewer did not like the seat because he thought it required more maintenance than other trike seats. (The review is available at sunsite.anu.edu.au/community/ozhpv/7trikes.htm). This trike rides low, so extra care is needed to ensure that it is visible between cars. For example, a "roll bar" with lights could make the trike visible between cars. Awesome Library does not endorse this product, but only provides it as an example. Sometimes called three-wheel bicycles. 6-01

A cycle with a Rohloff Speed Hub with 15 teeth at the low end (800 dollars) and a 53 tooth chainring with a Schlumpf Speed-Drive (350 dollars) will have a gear inch range of 15 to 128.
